will travel to Iola tonight to meet the highly touted Class Indians The Ramblers now 7 0 for the season and sitting alone atop the TPL heap barely escaped with their hides last week needing a second half surge to clip Texas Military 22 12 and guarantee it least a share of their loop crown The University Interscholastic Class squads usually contain lower qualify gridiron squads thanXhe TPL but the speedy Indians may not prove to be' any soft touch for Allen Standing 7 1 for the year Iola was among the un scarred elevens until their encounter with New Waverly last week The big factor in the Indians 28 12' loss may have been one of strategy Their offense trying to run on New Waverly completely stalled early in the game and the Indians had to return to the air an area where they have shown
